  • Expert advisors in personal data security
  • Technical or compliance experts preparing for a Data Protection Officer role

GDPR applies to organisations within the EU, as well as all those that handle personal data of EU citizens. If your organisation's core activities require regular and systematic monitoring of individuals on a large scale - like tracking an individual's behaviour on the internet - you must appoint a Data Protection Officer.
